Can't convert function to string properly (JavaScript)

[planer28]

I wrote an operating system-like thing, and wanted it's terminal to show the lengths of the programs (which are stored as functions), however everything I tried returns function () { [ecmascript code] }.

This is a Duktape issue.

Uh, so I assume it can't be easily fixed from here?

You do also know that whitespace in functions are included when it's converted to string? Also see this.
You could also write your programs like:

var program="\
function(){\n\
 print(\"Hello.\",0,0);\n\
}";

Yeah, but I have a whole set of system software built the way it is, plus it just makes the thing longer.
AND I also like the syntax highlighting.

I can't help you here for now because I don't know what you'd do. I'm not sure if there's a better JavaScript engine that TIC-80 could use too.

I understand. I mean, it ain't like using the terminal for checking sizes of programs is important in a graphical operating system, so I actually don't care too much about it :P
