There are iOS bindings for F# [1] with some level of support from Xamarin [2]. I'm not aware of any others. There are Cocoa bindings for a number of languages [3], but I'm fairly certain they are desktop-only.

They are indeed for desktop. As Objective-C becomes better (and it does it pretty fast, it has covered two decades of language development from 1970s to 1990s in just 7 years), most of the amateur iOS languages bindings become stale. There are currently no high-quality, production-ready, native 3rd party language bindings for iOS that I know of, except for Xamarin mentioned above and Unity family. In iOS 7 though, there's some activity in JavaScriptCore.framework on providing seamless integration between JavaScript and Objective-C.
