Abstract | Linguistic support for modern programming paradigms has not been welcomed into most of today's mainstream operating systems. Linus Torvalds has decreed that Linux will never again entertain C++, saying "In fact, in Linux we did try C++ once already, back in 1992. It sucks. Trust me, writing kernel code in C++ is a bloody stupid idea" Similarly, Pantelis Antoniou, an embedded PowerPC kernel developer, has captured popular systems-sentiment about aspect-orientation, "People like to live in denial; thinking that programming shouldn't be this hard right? There must be an easier way, if only those pesky developers followed fashionable_methodology_of_the_day" As a consequence, though a number of systems have been progressively restructuring services to leverage higher-level paradigms, it is intentionally done without language support. This decoupling of paradigms and language mechanisms appears to suggest that conventional wisdom in the systems community prejudices modern programming methodologies because they may unnecessarily heavyweight manifestations of paradigms, and pollute otherwise elegant and optimized hand-crafted C code. Simply put, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. We believe there is a growing body of evidence to suggest that, if the systems community continues to refuse support for a paradigm shift, system evolution will slow down to an unacceptable level. Already, valuable code is not being integrated into systems in a timely fashion because the tools meant to facilitate this can, and often do, impede the process. Simply put, it is broke and we believe we know how to fix it. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
