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...
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.
