Have a look at Clojure (clojure.org/).

Once you learn that, you could even branch back out to ClojureScript (clojurescript.org/) on the front end.

Do you feel like Clojure web servers are mature enough?

I'm not too familiar with ClojureScript (yet), but Clojure has a nice list of success stories: clojure.org/community/success_stories

The development team I joined recently is using Clojure as a processing backend and it has been very solid/stable.
