I think Clojure is definitely worth learning, even if you wouldn't get to use it on your day job! For a quick insight I'd recommend <a href="https://learnxinyminutes.com/docs/clojure/" rel="nofollow">https://learnxinyminutes.com/docs/clojure/</a> and <a href="https://github.com/functional-koans/clojure-koans/tree/master/src/koans" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/functional-koans/clojure-koans/tree/maste...</a>, which will quickly get you through the basics.<p>As you might already know, Clojure being a being a LISP means it has a really minimal "syntax", which is a two-edged sword. Also programming with immutable data makes it necessary to have a new perspective on how to express and implement algorithms, but luckily Clojure has good "escape hatches" to the mutable world (atoms, STM etc.).<p>Oh and btw I find Nightcode (<a href="https://sekao.net/nightcode" rel="nofollow">https://sekao.net/nightcode</a>) a very good IDE for Clojure, I favor the legacy 1.3.x branch but I'm sure 2.x should have benefits over it as well. Emacs had some annoying hurdles to overcome.
