I'm not sure I agree. Two problems for me.
* Cocoa isn't a seamless fit with either python or ruby, so there are
little corner cases around that don't feel quite right. Method naming,
for example, reads correctly in Objective C, but not in Python. In
fact it can get quite confusing.
* The documentation for Cocoa on Python and Ruby is far less bountiful
than for Objective C, so you end up reading Objective C documents and
translating them to Python or Ruby.
I really like Python (in particular) as a teaching language, but I
wouldn't teach cocoa with it.
