The new Verse lang by Epic Games & a core Haskell contributor has a lot of transaction features. I don’t know if it’s exactly the same as STM though.

Verse only supports single-threaded transactional memory. Epic hasn't yet demonstrated that their approach can actually scale to be used from multiple threads in a useful manner, though they claim that it will.
