It is very easy to create a language that is unwieldy, but hard to

If the basic things are not simple, a language will be relegated to
academia, and will not be as popular as hoped.
We really need to take a look into this one, and come up with something
workable. That won't be easy considering what Patrick has mentioned.
As Daniel pointed out, it isn't so bad. I didn't realize that we already
borrow on the left hand side, so you can write:
fn main() {
let x = ~"foo";
if "foo" == x {
println("yep");
}
}
We just need to borrow on the right hand side too, so that `x == "foo"`
works. I can think of ways to do it; none are particularly pretty, but I
suspect we could make it work. But the situation is not so dire now.
