Look at the link: https://github.com/seq-lang/seq It says 96% of the code is C++ in the "Languages" box on the right. C ( and C++ and Rust) outperforms Python in benchmarks and certain optimized C code can do 160x over very naive Python. So this is very possible, though the routines tested are probably cherry picked for bragging rights.
