You need to ensure not having the same filename both in javascript and coffeescript.

For example: having both the files 

assets/javascripts/application.coffee  
assets/javascripts/application.js

will only get the coffeescript loaded.

You can also write plain JS in CoffeeScript files, just put ` around it:

hi = `function() {
  return [document.title, "Hello JavaScript"].join(": ");
}`

Yes, you can just use Javascript. You have your files in app/assets/javascripts/*.js . On local dev, do a view source and you will see your files there.

On production, the Asset Pipeline will concatenate and minify.
