I think people should learn both Haskell and Clojure :). However, while Haskell is very obvious in its differences with more commonly used languages, I feel that Clojure is more subtle.

I felt like an idiot while I was learning Haskell; but in Clojure I only realised my idiocy after perhaps a year of working in it. Clojure feels deceptively close to more standard languages, but in its own way is as different to them as Haskell. It just isn't as immediately obvious.
