Neither of those represent the same semantics of:

    inline class { ... ]
Which is guaranteed to be always stack-allocated or stored in registers, again you cannot retrofit semantics, specially when passing those classes to binary libraries.

You're correct that the Scala version isn't ABI-compatible. But Scala doesn't care about ABI between minor releases anyway, so that probably wouldn't stop them from changing it to align with Java.

There is also precedence for this, Scala 2.12 changed the encoding of lambdas from anonymous classes to Java 8's invokedynamic.
