I recommend checking out ClojureScript. The community is really moving in this direction. I find cljs takes React from good to great (I wrote a simple blog post about that here [0]), and up and coming frameworks like reframe [1] are going to make it even better. reframe and even vanilla Reagent/Om/etc are heading in the direction you desire. ClojureScript still has some warts to iron out, but all in all I feel like it's our current best bet for some truly amazing apps in the browser.
