Been playing around with RxJs and wonder how much difficulty would it be to combine React with this? RxJs seems to work particularly well with Angular but I know Back one much better. is there harmony between the two?
However, once you have certainly complexity in your asynchronous flow, RxJS is a great way to express that.
The interesting part of our experiments (which we designed together with Erik Meijer) can be found here:

RxJS makes it easy to create abstractions from complex pieces of your async flow. The getStreams method in that example could easily be broken apart into multiple pieces.
This fits very well into the React model and is definitely a great compliment if your organization is already familiar with Rx.
We think that "two-way binding" is actually very, very hard to get right since it flies in the face of the way data flows in a von Neumann program.
Instead, we provide some sugar that lets you get the conciseness of two-way binding but without making it hard to debug or understand performance: http://facebook.github.io/react/docs/two-way-binding-helpers...
But we don't really recommend that for newbies since it's important to understand how the data flows in your program before covering it up with sugar.
