Can Reactjs be used as a View within Emberjs?

Hi @tarasm, Sorry if I’m being dense about this, but I’m not yet seeing the difference. It seems Ember Views also have “template & javascript mixed together”. Here’s how I would write your example in Ember:

var LikeButton = Ember.View.extend({
  init: function() {
   this._super()
    this.set('liked', false};
  },
  likedText: function(){
    return(this.get('liked') ? 'like' : 'unlike')
  }.property('liked'),

  click: function(event) {
    this.set('liked', !this.get('liked')); // or this.toggleProperty('liked')
  },
  template: Ember.Handlebars.compile("
    <p>
        You {{likedText}} this. Click to toggle.
    </p>
  ")
});

LikeButton.create().appendTo('#example')

Help me understand – how is this different than React.js? We’ve changed some names (e.g. render => template, handleClick => click) but, as far as I can tell, the code samples are nearly identical.
