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.
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.

Best wishes for the new role!

This article by Chris Nuernberger nicely explains what it is about: https://cljdoc.org/d/cnuernber/libpython-clj/1.2/doc/so-many...

Clojurians Zulip https://clojurians.zulipchat.com and especially the data-science stream: https://clojurians.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/151924-data-...

Also SciCloj meetups: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaoZzhNzq-H7YiQczXKuXuw
Thanks 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.
By the way, we are having a Clojure data science public meeting at the end of this month: https://twitter.com/scicloj/status/1291845872884625408
We will assume some basic knowledge of Clojure, but I guess it may be interesting to join anyway.
Interesting! Appreciate the info
