Well, then MoonScript may satisfy you there, since it provides both.
For a slow CPU you would be translating MS to Lua on a bigger machine,
and probably can do the Lua bytecode compilation likewise (hence your
(5) request)
Although MS is Lua 5.1 based, I don't think it would be too difficult
to make it 5.2 compliant - and then it can use goto to provide a
continue statement.
The improvements to GC could be worth investigating for your CPU,
especially things like emergency garbage collection.
