I only use editors written in C, as God intended.

This might seem funny until you read Ken Thompson's "trusting trust" paper and realize that bootstrapping Rust is a so overwhelming task that someone implemented a Rust compiler in C++ for this purpose: https://github.com/dtolnay/bootstrap

I mean, who knows what kind of malware is transparently being injected in all Rust programs out there.

Nobody wrote a C++ compiler for this purpose; they wrote a Rust compiler (mrustc) in C++.

FWIW, using Guix it is very straightforward to build the rust toolchain fully bootstrapped starting from mrustc and gcc.
