Uff, I don't know. One one hand, I see what you mean by similarities to React, on the other hand, clean PHP usually leverages an MVC which React implementations usually don't use. Lastly, given the fact that modern PHP is often a pure API, I cannot agree with the template statement at all.

Well even the creator agrees with the template statement, because it was created as template engine and not a programming language, of course this changed now but you still see the templating features React took as inspiration.
