HISTORY

The idea started back in March 2012 as a fork of Padre. I wanted to dump Wx for the browser. The first version was in 11th April as Mojolicious::Plugin::Pedro. It used the ACE Javascript editor and jQuery UI. Then i hibernated for a while to play games :) Later I heard about Galileo. It basically used the same idea, mojolicious backend, browser for the frontend. So I stopped playing games and rolled my sleeves to focus on Pedro.

Later I discovered Pedro was not a good name for my project. So I chose Farabi for Al-Farabi who was a renowned scientist and philosopher of the Islamic Golden Age. He was also a cosmologist, logician,and musician.
