I don't think it's a mistake. He's claiming that it's faster than C++ and it's faster than safe Rust.

You're right, thanks for correcting. I misread the "and than safe Rust", thinking it was "and safer than Rust".

The extra "than" in front of "safe Rust" is superfluous and reads like an error, as if there's a comparative adjective missing ahead of it. I don't see any situation where "and than" should ever appear in any non-contrived English sentence.
