I would argue that learning a high level language like Clojure is most productive now that LLMs exist. I'm going to make a bold prediction that imperative programming is effectively dead now. LLMs are very good at writing the implementation details, dealing with syntax quirks, and the boilerplate. What you still have to understand are high level concepts like which algorithm is appropriate to use for a particular problem, or which data structure is a good fit for the data. How to organize your logic at scale and how data flows through the system. These are the kinds of things you need to be able to do to evaluate whether a solution an LLM came up with is sound or not. So, you still need to learn and practice writing code to develop the intuition for these things, but you don't really need to worry about the nitty gritty of it. And a language like Clojure is a perfect fit here.
