Elm is one example of such. However, it's also an illustration of why these languages are rare. With a strict semantics there's an almost unbearable temptation to add library functions with side effects. Elm only avoided this fate by giving its BDFL strict control over which packages could access the JS FFI. But that upset a lot of people.
