As part of my work to port the ChucK music programming language to JavaScript, via the Emscripten C++ to JavaScript compiler, I’ve implemented a Gradle build script for it (instead of the original Makefile). Aside from my working for Gradle, I think it’s a great choice for this kind of polyglot project, where both native and JavaScript targets are built. ChucK is also highly cross platform (i.e. Linux, OS X, Windows), which makes writing a general build script for it demanding. Gradle is a huge help here, especially after its recently gaining support for C and C++.
