Posting Etiquette
-
Ask the main part of your question in the title. This should be concise but informative.
-
Provide everything up front. Don't make people fish for more details in the comments. Provide background information and examples.
-
Be present for follow up questions. Don't ask for help and run away. Stick around to answer questions and provide more details.
-
Ask about the problem you're trying to solve. Don't focus too much on debugging your exact solution, as you may be going down the wrong path. Include as much information as you can about what you ultimately are trying to achieve. See more on this here: https://xyproblem.info/

C if you want to do low-level programming. Clojure if you want to do high-level programming.
Is C not reaching obsoletion? I haven't heard a lot about it being used anywhere. I've only heard of clojure before, I'll look at that!
New C standards are still being published every couple years, it's actively maintained with new features. If you're interested in robotics, avionics, or really low power applications you'll find lots of C jobs.
Those neat little python libraries that makes it go really fast is written in C. It's a neat little trick to have up your sleeve if you want to take your python profencie to the next level.
Linux is written in C. Many native extensions are written in C. If you are able to program in Clojure and use Java native interface and C to write performance critical code, you are covered on all ends.
