Despite C# in the name, any .NET-based language can be used, which includes: VB.NET, IronPython, F# and more. Cosmos itself and its kernel routines are primarily written in C#, and thus the Cosmos name.
In a project, Cosmos can be thought of as a compiler and a sort-of standard library for a project. It gives the user access to often hard to find or otherwise difficult to understand tools.
