Where "everyone else" is at least two different syntaxes in the first place, Intel and AT&T.

Ha? Doesn't it work through the 'import "C"' and then it's just regular C?

I meant something like this, i.e. not going through C at all: http://golang.org/src/pkg/syscall/asm_freebsd_amd64.s

Oh. You mean the Plan 9 assembler... It's pretty good looking to me so I haven't really considered that an issue. I guess you're on the other side of the AT&T vs. Intel assembly fence... But just how much assembly are we writing this days anyhow? I say, just wrap it all up in Go (or C through cgo) and be done with it.

It looks like AT&T assembly without the %s. Not really that weird.

You can use C files and GCC syntax in your Go project. Go will use Cgo and compile it with GCC.
