Is there an elegant way to turn a nested array of the form
[["a", 1], ["a", 2], [nil, 3], [nil, 4], ["b", 6], ["b", 8]]
into a hash of the form
{"a" => [1,2], nil => [3,4], "b" => [6,8]}

This is one way:
arr = [["a", 1], ["a", 2], [nil, 3], [nil, 4], ["b", 6], ["b", 8]]
h = Hash.new {|hash, key| hash[key] = []}
arr.each {|e| h[e[0]] << e[1]}
p h #=> {"a"=>[1, 2], nil=>[3, 4], "b"=>[6, 8]}

ary = [['a', 1], ['a', 2], [nil, 3], [nil, 4], ['b', 6], ['b', 8]]
ary.group_by(&:first).
# => { 'a' => [['a', 1], ['a', 2]], nil => [[nil, 3], [nil, 4]], 'b' => [['b', 6], ['b', 8]] }
map {|k, v| [k, v.map(&:last)] }.
# => [['a', [1, 2]], [nil, [3, 4]], ['b', [6, 8]]]
to_h
# => { 'a' => [1, 2], nil => [3, 4], 'b' => [6, 8] }

thx for all the suggestions, I'm going with
Hash[array.group_by(&:first).map{|k,v| [k, v.map(&:last)]}] as I think it is the most readable(?)One way could be:
array = [['a', 1], ['a', 2], [nil, 3], [nil, 4], ['b', 6], ['b', 8]]
array.each_with_object(Hash.new{|h,k| h[k] = []}) {|a, obj| obj[a.first] << a.last }
# => {"a"=>[1, 2], nil=>[3, 4], "b"=>[6, 8]}

array.each_with_object({}){|a, h| (h[a.first]||=[] )<< a.last }

Output of your command is list of hash instead of just being a hash
