I've heard that their shader language is similar to GLSL (corrected by lunixbochs). The menus are built in WebGL running inside a stripped-down Webkit browser.

HLSL is Microsoft's shading language. GLSL is the OpenGL shading language.

The shading language is similar to CG and HLSL, not very similar to GLSL.
