This may not be pleasant in practice, but is there anything that offers a text-based language for describing schematics and/or PCBs? (Similar to the way OpenSCAD has a DSL/Scheme for 3D modelling?)

From what I understand, VHDL etc. are for FPGAs and ICs, I'm just talking about boards with components.

Absolutely nothing is stopping anyone from writing Gerber files by hand. It's just a flat text file with a well documented format.

Likewise, Eagle (and I am sure, KiCad) files are text based.
