Decent compile-to-js languages can work as well. CoffeeScript is probably the most prominent, but ClojureScript seems especially promising to me.

I don't have experience with ClojureScript yet, but CoffeeScript is trivial to debug since the source and the compiled JavaScript are structurally very similar.
