I used Clojure and now I'm using a little bit of Java (and reading Effective Java) and I'm pretty glad I'm doing so: interfaces, generics, concurrency, data structures, mutable vs immutable objects, etc etc: most I just ignored when programming Clojure... and they are interesting to know IMO.
(I intend to return to Clojure/Python on the next project because Java really makes CRUD style web programming a PITA).
