Common Lisp has it too, via https://stmx.org/ I believe it supports the Intel TSX stuff if present and falls back to a software implementation if not present.
Is there any double compare-and-swap (DCAS) library for CL?

https://github.com/cosmos72/stmx is transactional memory, so I think it does a bit more than simple CAS. CAS is in https://shinmera.github.io/atomics .

I think you are right about STM being roughly equivalent to snapshot isolation.
What STM offers is an easy way to invent "containers for snapshotted values" aka TVars. Using them carefully may result in better scaling: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/stm-containers
