Buffer list conversions

[cymplecy]

Add two blocks - one to convert from buffer to a list and another to convert from a list to a buffer

Hi @cymplecy,

Nice work!
Who would have ever thought that a die hard Blockly lover would start writing code generators ;-)

Only one small remark. Currently you generate code like this:

var mybuffer = Buffer.from('Hello Blockly!');
var mylist = [...mybuffer]

What would you think about generating this instead:

var mybuffer = Buffer.from('Hello Blockly!');
var mylist = Array.from(mybuffer);

Personally I like the latter more, because the square bracket statement is kind of mysterious to interpret. Moreover that way you generate two rather identical statements...

Hey - I only put in what google gives me :)

PR updated to use the old fashioned way :)

[bartbutenaers]

Yes the old fashioned way is most of the time the most easy to understand way ;-) I assume your Japanese knowledge is rather limited, since you haven't updated the ja.js file...

BTW my congratulations with your knowledge about the Dutch language. Perhaps we could communicate from here on in Dutch, so you can even extend your skills even more ;-)

:) I just used Snap! to find out the word for list in dutch :)
