Rails - Nov 2011 - Coffeescript being compiled to javascript

I am using Rails 3.1.1 with asset pipeline and coffeescript.  I have a
number of Coffeescript files in the app/assets/javascripts directory.
Whenever I make a change to the coffeescript files in that directory, it
is producing a corresponding javascript file automatically.

The changes that I make to the coffeescript files are being used
correctly by rails, but I am not sure as to why does it have to produce
a ".js" file corresponding to the coffeescript files.  Is there a
setting that I need to enable/disable?

Thanks.

Nope.  Producing .js files is correct behavior.  That''s what the
user''s browser understands.  (Well, that and HTML; my point is, the
browser doesn''t understand Coffeescript.)
