YAML is a human readable plain text data format.
It is used in Jekyll for configuration, site data, and front matter.
Jekyll projects are configured using the _config.yml file.
Liquid is a flexible template language.
In Jekyll it allows you to layout pages built from modular components and data, using the _includes, _layouts, and _data directories.
Liquid includes features such as operators, loops, and filters to manipulate raw content.
Liquid statements are enclosed by {% raw %}{% %}{% endraw %} and variables in {% raw %}{{ }}{% endraw %}.
Sass is a CSS extension / preprocessor.
All normal CSS is valid SCSS, but Sass adds many powerful functions and programatic features.
Writing SCSS is often easier and more sensible, for example by supporting nesting, variables, and operators.
Jekyll lets you write SASS in modular chucks called partials, in the _sass directory, that will be combined and compiled into normal CSS files when the site is built.
