How do you use reduce for function composition (pipe) in JavaScript?

Use an object as the initial value. For each element, push it to the array at acc[property]: people.reduce((acc, p) => { (acc[p.dept] ||= []).push(p); return acc; }, {}).
Use an object as the initial value. For each element, increment the count: arr.reduce((acc, w) => { acc[w] = (acc[w] || 0) + 1; return acc; }, {}).
Use an object as the initial value. For each element, set acc[element.id] = element: users.reduce((acc, u) => { acc[u.id] = u; return acc; }, {}). This gives O(1) lookup by id.
