Stick with what makes you happy. If you want to work in Ruby, target jobs that are Ruby/Rails oriented and keep on coding in Ruby. Unless you are interviewing for an engineer position that require C/C++ you're most likely better off sticking to Ruby jobs.

On the other hand I've had job interviews where they used a language I wasn't proficient in (Python, Scala) but they allowed me to craft the solution to problem in Ruby but expected me to port it to the other language. Employers these days seem to be flexible, especially when the candidate is intelligent and picks up technology easy.

I dont mind a non Ruby job at all. Its just that since I have no real C++ experience, just picking it up for interviews (which I had done so far) doesn't seem like a good idea somehow.
