I've been following these two libraries (Manticore and Meilisearch) very closely. Their simplicity, portability and performance gains over Elasticsearch are impressive.

Since two days ago, I am creating Python bindings for the core search engine of each of these two libraries, starting with https://github.com/AlexAltea/milli-py. Getting extreme performance, but as an embedded/self-contained packed (akin to SQLite).

I don't see anywhere where they claim that it's faster simply because it's written in C++. They do mention that they make use of C++ to add low level optimizations that make queries faster and the memory imprint smaller, but any claims about performance in the readme are linked to benchmarks to back up their claims
