Heads up! This blog post hasn't been updated in over 2 years. CodePen is an ever changing place, so if this post references features, you're probably better off checking the docs. Get in touch with support if you have further questions.

A few years ago we dug up some data on preprocessor usage on CodePen. That was then and this is now! Back then, we hadn’t yet hit 1,000,000 Pens, and we have over 6 million now, so it’s much more statistically relevant.

Here’s the data as of about the end of 2015.
