As a Clojure fan I'd recommend it or any other lisp if you want to learn new concepts. Treating everything as data is mind bending in all the right ways.
I'm learning Rust and I also program microcontrollers with C. I agree with you that Rust is the better recommendation given the intent of your article. It brings some novel concepts to the table that C and C++ do not.
A good list.

In fact, the first thing came to my mind when I see the article title is .. Clojure !
Clojure is a language I'm interested in for sure!
