## Gulp is not as much convenience as Makefile and doesn't support parallel building natively. Therefore, although plugins could help us build up a same parallel architecture of our current build system, it’s hard to split every task into dependency tree to take full advantage of multi-core CPU (like "make -j8"). | ## Gulp is not as much convenience as Makefile and doesn't support parallel building natively.

# If | # If we decide to build up our build system by GNU Make tool chain, considering to split up every task into small tasks would be very hard to implement. Furthermore, splitting into many small tasks mean that you have to deal with more I/O operations because you need to write more temporary file for communicating within each task, such thing will slow down performance. | ||
