History
A small project, HASTE, developed in 2002, in an attempt to create a small fast virtual machine, soon evolved into the Falcon programming language. In early 2008, the package was first shipped under open source licensing as a package in Ubuntu, and included in the KDE 4 scripting framework.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“A poet’s object is not to tell what actually happened but what could or would happen either probably or inevitably.... For this reason poetry is something more scientific and serious than history, because poetry tends to give general truths while history gives particular facts.”
—Aristotle (384–323 B.C.)
“The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“If man is reduced to being nothing but a character in history, he has no other choice but to subside into the sound and fury of a completely irrational history or to endow history with the form of human reason.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
