__volatile__ __asm__

volatile is a C keyword, and programmers know better than using asm as an identifier. Why do people insist on using double underscores around them, especially Linux kernel developers?

Also, why do people use things like __attribute__((aligned(n))) instead of defining a macro ALIGNED(n)?

So, why do we need all these inferior ad-hoc languages, when there is Lisp? Why not have a superior low level Lisp DSL for kernel development, instead of error-prone and bloated C/C++ toolchain? It clear that C/C++ has no future and is going to die.
