No, the Rust Project recently made sure that Rust can't have compile-time reflection.

Can you expand on this? I'd love to read more on the subject.

Here is a short summary. The compile-time reflection project was stopped, and now nobody wants to touch that subject any more due to fear of getting the wrath of the Rust project again (the person responsible for the whole thing is still part of the leadership).
