I get the strong impression you don't really understand what programming by contract is. I have not yet personally used it, but I am interested in anything that can help to make my programs more reliable. If you are programming something that doesn't really need to be correct, than you probably don't need it. But if you really need (or want) your software to be correct and reliable as possible, I think you you should be interested in it.
