    I dont think the Dev who has the blog is unaware of DAG, he usually deal with CS stuff, i believe he was trying to make a point.

    But who knows what he knows or doesn’t know, i am not his lawyer. In any case, there are a few valid points.

    I never understood the hype behind gradle.

      They probably know what it is, but it’s a bad point if they’re trying to paint DAGs as esoteric CS stuff for the average programmer. I needed to use a topological sort for work coding 2 weeks ago, and any time you’re using a build system, even as simple as Make, you’re using DAGs. Acting like it’s a tough concept makes me wonder why I should accept the rest of the argument.

      Can’t say I have a strong feeling about Gradle though 🤷‍♀️
