Introduction – Create Your Own Programming Language with Rust

I'm not a Rust programmer, yet, but this is enticing. This appears to be building a language to be compiled with LLVM as a standalone executable.

However, in C++ there is a mechanism via libraries such as Boost::Spirit where a parser can be built inline and compiled inline (no separate compilation step) and used within the C++ application on input streams.

Is this a capability available within the Rust ecosystem?
