All of the JetBrains tools will do complete project analysis and find unused code, and Visual Studio is approaching this level of functionality out of the box - with extensions and Roslyn plugins it is possible to do some very powerful checks.

Dynamic language tooling is really like banging goddamn rocks together, and people take pride in that...

PMD for Java does as well with the right settings.

I will take a dynamic language over bad statically-typed languages any day, no matter how good the IDE is.
