This isn’t true - many hiring managers and HR filters do in fact screen by language and keywords. I personally wouldn’t work there but it’s particularly true for non tech companies and especially true for sweat shop like environments. A lot of Java and c++ roles are also very specific in what they’re hire for because the frameworks and (in c++ especially) language complexity is profound. A competent ruby developer would take a decade to become a competent c++ engineer because it takes a decade to really learn the complexities of c++ at that level. (Which is one reason I’m a huge supporter of rust killing off c++). Companies built around modern tool chains tend to be more progressive in their hiring and their tool chains are more forgiving.
