Best wishes for the new role!
Eventually, it may be a good idea to try both Clojure and Python.
Personally I find Clojure's approach towards data very refreshing. It does require an open mind and a mindset different than usual. Eventually, this can bring joy, simplicity and power.
This article by Chris Nuernberger nicely explains what it is about:
https://cljdoc.org/d/cnuernber/libpython-clj/1.2/doc/so-many-parenthesis- https://cljdoc.org/d/cnuernber/libpython-clj/1.2/doc/so-many...
Clojure's community is certainly smaller than Python's, but some say it is very friendly.
Below are some beginner-friendly places to chat about it.
If you wish, let us chat there, dive into the details, and think how you could begin exploring.

- s_c_r 6y agoThanks for the links! I like the idea of a changed mindset. That sort of thing can be useful in and of itself as an educational exercise.
- daslu 6y agoBy the way, we are having a Clojure data science public meeting at the end of this month: https://twitter.com/scicloj/status/1291845872884625408 https://twitter.com/scicloj/status/1291845872884625408 We will assume some basic knowledge of Clojure, but I guess it may be interesting to join anyway.
- s_c_r 6y agoInteresting! Appreciate the info
