Gradle is a general build tool, while cargo/go are only for their respective languages.

The moment you need to run some code from another language on your code to generate some other code or whatever, they break down, while Gradle can be used for pretty much anything.

In other words, cargo/go only solve the cache/parallelize/resolve task dependencies problem for "hard coded" special cases, the moment you strive away from that you are in a world of pain.
