How to group and count occurrences of values in Elixir's list

Let's assume that the input contains a list of people names:

people = [
  %{name: "John"},
  %{name: "Tom"},
  %{name: "John"},
  %{name: "David"}
]

Our goal here is to count occurrences of names so that in the end we'll get this summary:

%{"David" => 1, "John" => 2, "Tom" => 1}

In Elixir, it's super easy! You can use Enum.frequencies_by/2 to achieve that in a simple one-liner:

iex > Enum.frequencies_by(people, & &1.name)
%{"David" => 1, "John" => 2, "Tom" => 1}
