Let's collect relatively new research programming languages in this thread
Jasmin, late 2010s, a language designed to be lower-level than C and provide good low-level control for cryptographic code. Basically a new take on "C as a high-level assembly language", with formal semantics etc. I suspect that this design space is rather close to "a good language to use as a compiler backend", but I think this would require changes to Jasmin and no one is working on that as far as I know.

Let's collect relatively new research programming languages in this thread
Jasmin and F* don't have similar goals, Jasmin is a language designed to precisely express low-level code, while F* is a generalist language for verified programming. There is a subsystem of F* that performs extraction to "readable C code", Karamel (used to be called Kremlin), but you get the usual limitations of C code as a high-level assembler, and also an embedded assembly layer built on Vale. Project Everest therefore generates artifacts that are a mix of C and assembly, rather than a new low-level language design as Jasmin.
