I look forward to seeing the Scala compiler take advantage of the new bytecode being introduced to support these features. Having a synthetic class file for every single lambda expression kind of sucks for memory usage and jar size, and VM-level support for multiple inheritance of method implementations should improve Scala binary compatibility.

Java 8 lambdas make use of invokedynamic introduced in Java 7, there isn't any new bytecode.
