A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

But I find that for libraries, Gradle will still be parsing the build configuration when the Make build has finished.

Make sense to profile configuration step, maybe there is some problem with one of plugins

I don’t need to because Make is already fast.

And also not compatible with Idea and Kotlin

I just want to say, that maybe there is just some performance problem that can be solved, instead of writing manual integration with CLI tools

Writing Gradle and debugging its performance problems is not

and patchy IntelliJ support for editing Gradle files

&gt; Writing Gradle and debugging its performance problems is not
is not a big problem if you know what to do, if it’s easy to write everything manually, why not

But it’s not something that one *should* need to do.  Profiling my app?  Sure.  Profiling Gradle’s own parsing of its own configuration files?  Yak shaving.

&gt; parsing of its own configuration files
No, of course not parsing. Gradle compiles all build scripts only once and cache them, I don’t think that this is your problem.
Configuration should be pretty fast even for multimodule project with modern Gradle, but sometimes bad plugin or wrong configuration can broke it.
Sometimes just run Gradle builds scan to find problem
