Hi Greg,
If you want to start with a functional language, then I would start with
Erlang or Haskell, rather than Closure.
Closure is a great language, but it runs on the Java VM, and you are
expected to know and understand Java data structures. I found learning
both Closure and Java together was heavy going because it was documented
in two places.
Both Erlang and Haskell have good resources on the web (Learn you a
Haskell for a great good is excellent as is Learn you Erlang for a Great
Good). Both are free standing.
However if you don't know you want to start with a functional language,
Python is very nice for beginners, and supports rather than enforces
many functional ideas.
Your age has nothing to do with anything!
Regards
Ian
