In most languages, methods are functions.

Sounds to me like you are stuck on syntax rather than the real concept.
 You can do object-oriented programming in most any language, whether it
has syntactical support or not.  C++'s objects are really structs with a
function call table (vtable) tacked on.

You might consider the Vala language, which implements a syntax more
like what you are expecting.  Under the hood, Vala is straight gobject
(straight-C), so it's very light-weight.
