This bears no resemblance to react whatsoever. By taking out the render, getInitialState, componentWillMount and other lifecycle methods Riot.js completely misses the ideology behind react and becomes just another templating library. Waste of time, anyone reading this should stick with React.

Not to mention we've moved past code tags like "each={ item, i in items }".

Glad you like React so much!

Maybe have another look for Riot on a later time and you can perhaps see the reason for it to exist.
