HISTORY

The idea started back in March 2012 as a fork ofPadre. I wanted to dumpWx for the browser. The first version was in 11th April asMojolicious::Plugin::Pedro. It used the ACE Javascript editor and jQuery UI. Then i hibernated for a while to play games :) Later I heard aboutGalileo. 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 forAl-Farabi who was a renowned scientist and philosopher of the Islamic Golden Age. He was also a cosmologist, logician,and musician.
