You might want to look at Kotlin, though the mutability options aren’t as good as Rust’s.

Can you describe (or link) a scenario where more advanced mutability options would be preferred / better practice?

This article looks pretty good: https://blog.stylingandroid.com/kotlin-mutability/

I would describe the difference between Rust and Kotlin as: Rust offers control over interior mutability and guarantees that there is only ever one mutable reference at a time—Kotlin offers exterior mutability control, not all that dissimilar from final in Java or const in C/C++, but it is better.
