What are the advantage of gradle over make for build purpose of c and C++ projects??

I feel since gradle is mainly focused on java project, it might be slower for c/C++??

One good reason to use Gradle for C and C++ projects right now is if you have mixed language projects that you ideally want to build together. I have been involved with several systems that have parts in Java and parts in native languages and it’s messy using different build systems for each.

I can’t say whether Gradle is slower than Make because it depends on the build. I also have no real world experience with the native support, so it’s best to ask someone that has. I do know that the native performance is no slouch and continues to improve. You might get some useful information if you ask on the Gradle discussion forums at https://discuss.gradle.org/ .
