I'm a computer engineer with more than a decade of development experience with embedded systems... I use C/C++/python everyday and "Directed Acyclical Graph" is never mentioned by name, no one in my experience says make me a DAG. Hell, I had to look it up when I read your comment and went "oh that's what those are called". I use em to show relationships between states or to descide a system that is best diagramed using a DAG. Do I or anyone I've talked to in my career call them DAG.. lol no.
You also use Git everyday (most likely) and that mentions Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) all over the place. https://git-scm.com/docs/user-manual#the-object-database
Just like you don't have to understand what a DAG is to use Git, you don't need to understand a DAG to use Gradle. The author is blowing smoke about nothing.
I thought this was basic CS 101, part of DSA
