i have several of them, actually. yet they are very specialized — 
i.e. designed to support my game engines, not to be "wide-area 
scripting languages".

publicly accessible are:

DACS[1] — statically typed, with modules and UFCS, and JIT 
compiler built with LibJIT[2], optionally supports internal 
stack-based VM.

GML[3] — part of my WIP Game Maker 8 emulator, register-based 
3-op VM, no JIT.
