I do believe that in the second line of your "fixed" ECMAScript should read (acc[thing.type] || (acc[thing.type] = [])), as opposed to ` = [thing], unless you want to add thing` to the list twice... Or am I missing something?

That ecmascript example is incomprehensible to many programmers. It relies on too many syntactic tricks. The loop has the advantage of obviousness for junior developers.
