I don't think diving into RubyMotion without knowing iOS API is that overwhelming; my only first hand experience with Objective-C was when I tried to submit a very small patch (2 lines) to open source project, yet I still found RubyMotion to be very easy to work with. There are few things I wish it was simpler (e.g. Core Data) but I guess this will be fixed over time with RubyMotion wrappers and some kind of DSL.
