__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)?

If you're so sure, whip up a #lang in racket. I bet you will find no one cares, because people use lisps because of the sexps, not in spite of them.

That's actually much better. I still disagree with you in most of your opinions. I use Lisp because of sexp together with a decent editor.
