Yet another approach which I have used in Fur (https://github.com/kerkeslager/fur) is to compile to a low(er)-level programming language (in the case of Fur, I'm compiling to C).
These approaches aren't just for toy languages. Java/C#/Python standard implementations compile to byte code that runs on virtual machines. Glasgow Haskell Compiler compiles to C--, and a bunch of languages compile to JavaScript.
