This doesn't do what you think it does:

$ -> ready

In JavaScript that is:

$(function() {
    return ready;
});

Your problem is that just ready is simply a reference to the function, it is not a function call like it would be in Ruby. You'd have to say ready() to call the function, the function calling parentheses are only optional when you're calling a function with arguments: f x and f(x) are the same but f and f() are different.

I think you want to say:

$ -> ready()

or even:

$ ready # same as $(ready)
