Zoho Creator uses JavaCC

As a big fan of JavaCC, this is good to hear - the application builder Zoho Creator uses JavaCC internally!  The JavaCC mention is near the end of this interview with lead architect Suganyas.

There aren't any real details about how they use JavaCC, but I bet it's used to parse their script code shown in the screenshot below - click the screenshot for a larger view:

Always happy to hear about the JavaCC book market expanding!

Tom,
We use JavaCC to parse the Deluge script, and translate the script to the abstract syntax format we store in the database.

JavaCC has been very useful - thank you!

Sridhar - Cool, thanks for the info! So you store the AST in the database? Interesting - how do you serialize it? And yup, JavaCC is great, Sriram and Sreenivasa did a super job with it.
