I'd recommend Kotlin instead of Clojure because it's very useful for making mobile apps.

I don't think it has to be "instead". Both are good languages which use different approaches. And both can be fun for different reasons.
Clojure has multiple hosts, I think there's at least 3 platforms that can make mobile apps under Clojure

ClojureScript -> React Native

ClojureDart -> Google Dart

Clojure -> GraalVM

Four if you consider Unity via Arcadia on Clojure's .net implementation

Most businesses I come across use React Native via CLJS

Clojure seems like the better choice for learning new stuff, coming from Java. A paradigm shift, which includes necessary learnings for understanding a lot of "new" technology.
