Elixir is an amazing language for the backend. Erlangs BEAM VM gives it a battle tested, highly reliable, functional base. Pattern matching is a joy and OTP offers tried and true answers to concurrency, scalability and uptime challenges. Mix in Elixirs pleasant ruby-like syntax, the lovely pipeline operator and zero-cost abstractions with hygienic macros and the result is a cocktail I could drink all day, every day.

That's like pouring a dram of Laphroaig An Cuan Mor single malt whisky, then blending it with coke. The blasphemy!

Enter Elixirscript

Thanks to bryanjos's brainchild Elixirscript you won't have to. It lets you write Elixir on the frontend to your heart's content. While it's still very much in development you can already do quite a lot with it.

REACT-EU: €4.7 billion to support jobs, skills and people most in need in Italy


The Commission has granted €4.7 billion to Italy under REACT-EU to support the country's response to the coronavirus crisis and to contribute to a sustainable socio-economic recovery.

The new funding is the result of the modification of two operational programmes from the (ESF) and the (FEAD). Italy's national ESF programme “Active employment policies” will receive €4.5 billion to support employment in the areas most affected by the pandemic. The additional funds will help increase the hiring of young people and women, allow workers to participate in training, and support tailor-made services for job seekers. In addition, they will help protect jobs in small businesses in the regions of Abruzzo, Molise, Campania, Puglia, Basilicata, Calabria, Sicily and Sardinia.

Commissioner for Jobs and Social Rights, Nicolas
Schmit

The EU continues to support its citizens in overcoming the coronavirus crisis. The new funding for Italy will help create jobs, notably for young people and women, in the regions most in need. Investing in skills is another priority and key in mastering the green and digit


Dear visitor,

Welcome to the homepage of Reactnieuws!

We bring political-incorrect news in Dutch: this is the language of 23 million people, living in the north of Belgium, Flanders (6 million) and the Netherlands (17 million). It is the 8th most spoken language in the EU. We work in the region of Brussels, the capital of Belgium and the EU.

Here is where we live and work in Europe:



The Netherlands are a state, Belgium is a state, Flanders is a region in Belgium and Brussels is a capital region in Belgium. It’s complicated.

Reactnieuws started up around 2012 because of a strong sense of irritation with the mainstream media (MSM). Especially in Flanders, the northern, Dutch speaking part of Belgium, of which Brussels is the capital.  All media (printed as well as broadcasting) are either state controlled or strongly state sponsored. As a result, they are all liberal and left-wing;  while Flanders votes 80% centre and right-wing in elections, polls show that 80% of journalists vote left or even far left (communist).

Over the years, Reactnieuws has earned its place under the free media in Flanders and the Netherlands. We specialise in bringing the news about Belgium and the

The senseless killings and horrific attack on a newspaper and on a shop. Of course these terrorist attacks are violations of the right to life and the freedom of expression and therefore on our democratic societies.

The perpetrators wanted to instill fear and to create chaos and undo our precious freedoms. Inhuman and illegal. But that is so obvious that we did not write about it. It is also obvious that states will do whatever it takes to defend themselves and protect their citizens. And that is what they must do under the positive obligations to protect!

The balance is to accept that societies will not be risk free and that barbaric idiots, whatever their invoked justification, will occasionally pop up and kill. The balance is therefore to protect our freedoms and liberties in the pursuit of the achievement of security. Let us not walk into the trap of over-responses and blaming. And let’s also work at prevention and the eradication of exclusion, poverty and unemployment, and in favor of protection of youth and assistance of families an
