Take a look at http://terralang.org (low-level) and http://ebblang.org (DSL), both related to Lua, via meta-programming and LLVM.

I've toyed with both languages, and they are only slightly off from something I have been looking for. One of my pet projects right now is a language that can be compiled to and/or simultaneously interpreted within C++, with minimal overhead or dependencies (just a small single header file). No need for LLVM, although I debated using it myself.
