I'm going to start the Clojure unit in the senior class in a few weeks. They have done some F# and I will repeat the F# assignments in Clojure for comparison. They all have some Java and some C++ but the unit here is just some functional programming without Java interop so I don't think it matters. The grad class has been going well and I get some interesting programs. Here Java is handy for GUI so it does help to have some Java.
