In order to perform this operation in JavaScript, we can use
Array.prototype.map() to create a new array where each column of the original matrix becomes a row in the transposed matrix.

Solution
const transpose = arr => arr[0].map((col, i) => arr.map(row => row[i]));
transpose([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9], [10, 11, 12]]);
// [[1, 4, 7, 10], [2, 5, 8, 11], [3, 6, 9, 12]@Further reading
