Duplicate illustrator layer with scripts

Question

Hey! I'm new to scripting, and I'm trying to find a solution to what should be such a simple problem.

I'm trying to duplicate a layer with a script, but as of now, it seems there's no an easy way. Somebody suggested that I should create an action that duplicates a layer, and then call that action from my code. But I can't seem to get an action to duplicate a layer, it just doesn't register it.

So, does anybody have an already working code for something like this, if not, can somebody point me in the right direction to code this myself?
