Stuff you might didn't know about CoffeeScript

  I found the following example to be extremely confusing:

    a = 10  
    b = 5 > a > 30
  

  When I thought about it after seeing what it compiles to:

    var a, b;
  
    a = 10;  
    b = (5 > a && a > 30); 
  

  I couldn't see how that statement could be true because a cannot be less than 5 while also be greater than 30.

  Range checking I would assume would be:

    b = 5 < a > 30
