In my humble experience, the best way to learn a language is to follow your way to learn a language, that means the same way you were already successful with the latest language you learnt.
Hopefully in the future CLJ could become the very first language the new generation will learn (today I think it’s python). But at the moment I don’t know anyone which start programming by using CLJ as her/his very first programming language. There should be no reasons why CLJ/CLJS requires you to adopt a different approach from the latest language you learnt.
