Rust has had at times multiple members of its leadership team employed by Palantir and not imploded, so probably not.

Sheesh. And you can't write a reproducible compiler for Rust either, because every version of rustc was compiled with the previous version. What are the chances there isn't a backdoor?

mrustc, an independent implementation, has produced identical output.

This means you'd have to land the same attack in both mrustc and rustc, making the possibility infinitesimally small.
