So using can.$ makes it easier to switch between libraries.

3. Yes you can use CanJS with Steal. Just clone the Steal repository into a steal folder and canjs into a can folder.

Then you can steal files and views like you are used from JMVC.

Although the anonymous function looks quite ugly within a template, I guess (el) -> new MyControl(el) would also work?

Steal throws an exception about not knowing .ejs .. after some RE I figured that the registration of the .ejs type was probably moved to can/view/view_steal (probably to build a steal-less CanJS?)  and the extension was changed to .view?

After including can/view/view_steal and renaming all .ejs file extensions to .view, including the templates worked. Next error was thrown in view_steal because of a local function toId() (undefind) which is only defined in can/view.

// curtis cummings (wrote with him on irc) is looking into it and will reply when he knows more.

Again, thanks for helping me out (curtis, daff)

To steal a view just do this:

Have a nice weekend ;-)

In CanJS there it is not possible to call this.callback: Uncaught TypeError: Object #<f> has no method 'callback'

I've changed the code to 

initCallback is called but this.options is not accessible because "this" refers to Window object.

Can you help me what is the right way of using callbacks? Or can I somehow pass parameters to callback function?

Thanks for any help.
