The problem with: ret = "" for s in strings: ret += s is that it re-allocates O(n) times, even if ret is referenced only once.

You have probably run WebAssembly without noticing it, I would call that a success.

My theory is that they rate limit that URL aggressively due to AI scrapers. At this point it's faster to just clone the repo and do your searching locally.
