Fuck you, CoffeeScript

coffee-i-wrote.coffee

defaultFoo = 10
foo = 3

foo = (defaultFoo > foo) ? defaultFoo : foo
console.log(foo)
=> true

desired-javascript.js

var defaultFoo = 10,
    foo = 3;

foo = (defaultFoo > foo) ? defaultFoo : foo;
console.log(foo);
=> 10

generated-javascript.js

var foo, _ref, defaultFoo;

foo = 3;
defaultFoo = 10;

foo = (_ref = defaultFoo > foo) != null ? _ref : {
  defaultFoo: foo
};
console.log(foo);
=> true

There is nothing wrong with CoffeeScript. CoffeeScript has never had an explicit ternary statement. What you did is not CoffeeScript. Here is your solution:

defaultFoo = 10
foo = 3

foo = if (defaultFoo > foo) then defaultFoo else foo
console.log(foo)

Barf.
