IMHO Rust manages to do this really well - the system of ownership and borrowing brings all the safety of immutability to mutable data. Check out the "Why Rust" video: http://intorust.com/

It's not really viable to use in place of JS yet (only via Emscripten, which results in a huge bundle) but the future looks bright for Rust.
