If you were creating C code today and could use a C23 compiler, would

I was still 20 something when I (easily) wrapped my head around the 0
null pointer constant, and have not had any problems with it.
Once I learned the standard-defined truth about null pointer constants,
and their relationship to the NULL macro, I dropped NULL like a hot
potato, and didn't look back (except when working in code bases that use
NULL).

Whereas I spent 6 years programming on an architecture[*] where a
null pointer was represented in hardware by the value 0xc0eeeeee.  I always
use the NULL macro in both C and C++ code.

 Where:
 void* x = 0;
 Should be x = 0xc0eeeeee, right?
