The .NET developers out there have likely heard that using a StringBuilder is a much better practice than string concatenation. Something about strings being immutable and creating new strings in memory for every concatenation. But, I'm not sure that this (as found by Andrey Shchekin) is what they had in mind ...


public override string getClassVersion() {
  return
    new StringBuffer().append(
      new StringBuffer().append(
        new StringBuffer().append(
          new StringBuffer().append(
            new StringBuffer().append(
              new StringBuffer().append(
                new StringBuffer().append(
                  new StringBuffer().append(
                    new StringBuffer().append("V0.01")
                      .append(", native: ibfs32.dll(").ToString())
                    .append(DotNetAdapter.getToken(this.mainVersionBuffer.ToString(), 2)).ToString())
                  .append(") [type").ToString())
                .append(this.portType).ToString())
              .append(":").ToString())
            .append(DotNetAdapter.getToken(this.typeVersionBuffer.ToString(), 0xff)).ToString())
          .append("](").ToString())
        .append(DotNetAdapter.getToken(this.typeVersionBuffer.ToString(), 2)).ToString())
      .append(")").ToString();
}

Note, that it is J#, StringBuffer and StringBuilder are the same thing.
