People who care about correctness wouldn't be using C/C++ in the first place. The culture of those languages is performance above all else, and it only gets worse as more and more "moderates" move to memory-safe languages, leaving only the extremists left.

That is not an informed opinion at all. The C++ people I know ALL care about correctness... That's why they use C++. They want to make sure it's done correctly, and not left to some node package that barely works.
