You may be able to make Cocoa appear procedural, but it's definitely OO.

Even if you can access ObjC/Cocoa via a procedural style API, I don't  
see how you could avoid being familiar with OO concepts to actually  
use the APIs. Cocoa is an OO framework. It relies on concepts like  
classes, objects, subclassing, inheritance, etc to work. My gut  
feeling is that isolating the user from these concepts is probably  
impossible (I'm happy to be proved wrong though!).
