Per the Apple developer website:
"The Cocoa application environment is designed specifically 
for Mac OS X-only native applications. It is comprised of a 
set of object-oriented frameworks that support rapid development 
and high productivity. The Cocoa frameworks include a full 
featured set of classes designed to create robust and 
powerful Mac OS X applications. The object-oriented design 
simplifies application development and debugging.
Cocoa provides developers starting new Mac OS X-only projects 
the fastest way to full-featured implementations. Applications 
from UNIX and other OS platforms can also be brought to 
Mac OS X quickly by using Cocoa to build state of the art 
Aqua user interfaces while retaining most existing core code."
