IT — Move to a new technological stack (JVM based functional language - Clojure - and its ecosystem). Main motive was to gain the ability to build complex systems in a simple way — In-depth research on server-based graph and RDF databases including internal architectures and performance characteristics Psychology (theoretical and experimental) — Intensive training to sharpen my sensory and perceptive functions (with a focus on a minimal distortion), widen cognition and deepen resilience.

OneArrow was my decade-long initiation to complexity reduction. Starting 1998, I explored the conceptual space of highly extensible software. After two years of thinking I concluded that a new programming language was needed. Starting in the year 2000 I finished the conceptual work and tried to develop the first prototype of this new language. I failed to do so due to the complexity of the challenge — financially, personally and technically (some key technologies did not exist at that time).
