How good is the support for R when data is large and does not fit in memory?

Very good, just look at sparklyr and the likes. People seem to think there is some hang up here. R has some of the best developed packages for working out of memory.

I guess one has options in every language including Python. Does something make R stand out over Python for Big Data?

Everything that makes it stand over Python for small data.
