Python is a language and MERN is a stack made up of various components in JavaScript. In my experience, you generally pick tools based on preference/experience of the team and not solely on what's hot or even performance. Sometimes, the rest of the project might dictate what you use to build your portion of the solution.

The goal is to build a technical solution or tool to solve a problem. Most of the popular languages and frameworks will get you there. Don't get stuck up on picking a language/framework. If you are new to coding, pick one and run with it. Of course, front end will require JS/HTML/CSS and Data Science might focus more on Python/R/Julia, etc.
