Simplify Julia tuple creation

Question

i need to convert

2-element Vector{Matrix{Tuple{Real, Real}}}:
 [(1, 2) (1.8, 2.1) (3, 2)]
 [(1, 3) (2.2, 2.9) (3, 3)]

into

(Vector{Real}[[1, 1.8, 3], [1, 2.2, 3]], Vector{Real}[[2, 2.1, 2], [3, 2.9, 3]])

For that my naive approach is

a=[[(1,2) (1.8,2.1) (3,2)],[(1,3) (2.2,2.9) (3,3)]]
b=([first.(s)|>vec for s in a],[last.(s)|>vec for s in a])

1. Is there a way to write expressions like this simpler (i.e. without repeating most of the [somefunc.(s)|>vec for s in a] expression)?

2. Is this an efficient solution for a containing >1e6 elements in both vectors?

Answer 1

To get the first element in the tuple you want a way could be

map(i -> reshape(getindex.(i, 1), :), v)

So then

Tuple(map(i -> reshape(getindex.(i,j),:), v) for j in 1:2)

Should give you the output you want, I am not sure this is too much nicer.

Performance is the same but I can run it within a second for 1.e6 in my laptop so it should be okay unless you have really large vectors.

EDIT: I had written 8 in place of 6
