What is Arduino ?

It's important to note that one does not program the Arduino with
Processing, but rather with Wiring, which is "Tiny C++" running within
the Processing IDE/Sketchbook (which, like Processing, is written in Java).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiring_(development_platform)

One of the nice things about the Arduino platform is that there are
tons of libraries to do different stuff, and so long as you don't go
off the reservation you're free to ignore nasty stuff like programming
fuses, complex pin setups, etc.  But if you need to go there, all the
normal AVR programming functions are available to you, and you're
programming in more-or-less standard 8 bit C with tiny libc.
