With the current implementation and proposal of @live, it is 
effectively the equivalent of comparing a pair of scissors to a 
lawn mower. To be comparable to something like Rust would require 
an entire language rewrite from the ground up. Even though there 
are already significant breaking changes, they aren't sufficient 
and I don't imagine breaking everything completely is on the 
table.
