By "infrastructure", do you mean everything 
(lexer/parser/runtime/libraries) or something less? Using racc, you can 
connect a grammar for any language you like to the Ruby runtime and 
libraries. That's not quite the same as building a domain-specific 
language in Ruby itself, a la Rake, etc. But it's an option.
