I think it's always a good idea to learn as many different paradigms as possible. It also really depends on what direction you want to take your career/what the C++ team at your company is working on. C++ will be king for high performance, real-time compute for a long, long time. I work for a VR company making a VR-specific game engine, and C++ is pretty much the only game in town for extremely high performance, real-time graphics. So if you're interested in taking your career in the direction of high-performance, real-time systems then C++ is a great language to learn.
