The Arduino is has a bootloader that emulates an STK500, and a standard 6 pin ISP header. The "Arduino Language" is just some functions that they include to make it easier to program, you can add in standard avr code, or not use the arduino stuff at all. I like the arduino because it is pretty good for prototyping things, I recently purchased a STK500 and dragonfly bundle from digikey and i still use the arduino more.
