Mathias Bynens 8ee50178f3 Avoid confusing prototype methods for static methods
Correct: `Array.from()` (it’s a static method)
Incorrect: `Array.join()` (doesn’t exist; it’s a prototype method)

This patch uses the common `#` syntax to denote `.prototype.`.

unzip

Creates an array of arrays, ungrouping the elements in an array produced by zip.

Use Math.max.apply() to get the longest subarray in the array, Array.prototype.map() to make each element an array. Use Array.prototype.reduce() and Array.prototype.forEach() to map grouped values to individual arrays.

const unzip = arr =>
  arr.reduce(
    (acc, val) => (val.forEach((v, i) => acc[i].push(v)), acc),
    Array.from({
      length: Math.max(...arr.map(x => x.length))
    }).map(x => [])
  );
unzip([['a', 1, true], ['b', 2, false]]); //[['a', 'b'], [1, 2], [true, false]]
unzip([['a', 1, true], ['b', 2]]); //[['a', 'b'], [1, 2], [true]]
