If NULL is bad, simply invest NULL with the same ... behavior? semantics? as nullptr.<p>I cannot for the life of me help but think that this is simply a distinction without a difference.<p>I work in the embedded space, and in each case when I&#x27;ve used C++ instead of &#x27;C&#x27;, me and at least one other senior ( and I mean age senior - +40 ) guy end up bemoaning that if we&#x27;d just had a 2-hour meeting on which subset of &#x27;C&#x27; we&#x27;d have used, it would have taken half the time.<p>Oh so obviously, everybody has a different experience, and celebrate the diversity and all that, but I am really happy that I can always fall back on good old &#x27;C&#x27; and get something done.<p>EDIT: s&#x2F;invert&#x2F;invest
