using amber with knockoutjs

I'm looking forward to using amber, but am unsure of how the 'this' keyword from js is mapped.

Would someone be able to post up a little example of how amber might be able to work with a js framework like knockoutjs.

The simplest example is on:

http://knockoutjs.com/examples/helloWorld.html

and the Js is:

// Here's my data model
var ViewModel = function(first, last) {
    this.firstName = ko.observable(first);
    this.lastName = ko.observable(last);
 
    this.fullName = ko.computed(function() {
        // Knockout tracks dependencies automatically. It knows that fullName depends on firstName and lastName, because these get called when evaluating fullName.
        return this.firstName() + " " + this.lastName();
    }, this);
};
 
ko.applyBindings(new ViewModel("Planet", "Earth"));
