__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)?

I don't want to rape my mind by mentally compiling ASTs. I won't use lisp until
1.it replaces the braindead "syntax"(human readable syntax like C, or at least M-expressions)
2.the lisp have normal native hardware types support. not this "tagbits" inside an int bullshit
3.at least optimized GC which at worst can be turned off dynamically, or replaced with free/malloc(managing own byte array) and remove the fucking tagbits.
