* If the compiled script is not found in this cache, it will try to find it in the global cache,
 * which will use the delegate script class compiler in case of a miss. The lookup in this cache is
 * more efficient than looking in the global cache, as we do not check the script's hash code here,
 * assuming that it did not change during the build.

Each init script has a link:{groovyDslPath}/org.gradle.api.invocation.Gradle.html[Gradle] instance associated with it.
Any property reference and method call in the init script will be delegated to this `Gradle` instance.

Each init script implements the link:{groovyDslPath}/org.gradle.api.Script.html[Script] interface.

[NOTE]
====
When writing init scripts, pay attention to the scope of the reference you are trying to access.

The script begins with an actual command script to run
followed by the content of zero or more supporting files to
create in the script's temporary file system before it starts executing.

As an example, run_hello.txt says:

	# hello world
	go run hello.go
	stderr 'hello world'
	! stdout .

	-- hello.go --
	package main
	func main() { println("hello world") }

val gradleInternal = gradle as GradleInternal
val problems = gradleInternal.services.get(Problems::class.java)

problems.forNamespace("buildscript").reporting {
    id("adhoc-script-deprecation", "Deprecated script plugin")
        .contextualLabel("Deprecated script plugin 'demo-script-plugin'")
        .severity(Severity.WARNING)
        .solution("Please use 'standard-plugin-2' instead of this plugin")
}

== Build scripts

The build script is either a `build.gradle` file written in Groovy or a `build.gradle.kts` file in Kotlin.

The link:{groovyDslPath}/index.html[Groovy DSL^] and the link:{kotlinDslPath}/index.html[Kotlin DSL^] are the only accepted languages for Gradle scripts.

Let's take a look at an example and break it down:

====
[.multi-language-sample]
=====
.build.gradle.kts
[source,kotlin]
----
plugins {

Laura Kassovic <******@****.***> 1701107622 -0800

Jonathan Leitschuh <******@****.***> 1597856317 -0400

configurations {
    create("gradleScriptsElements") {
        isVisible = false
        isCanBeResolved = false
        isCanBeConsumed = true
        attributes.attribute(Usage.USAGE_ATTRIBUTE, objects.named("start-scripts"))
        outgoing.artifact(startScripts)
    }

Each script is a text archive (go doc internal/txtar).
The script begins with an actual command script to run
followed by the content of zero or more supporting files to
create in the script's temporary file system before it starts executing.

As an example, run_hello.txt says:

	# hello world
	go run hello.go
	stderr 'hello world'
	! stdout .

	-- hello.go --
