The Node.JS ecosystem has this as well
Dependencies? Node Package Manager, Bower, and others
Build scripts? Grunt, Gulp, and others
And the best part of all? All the scripting, configuration files, etc, for these are all in Javascript and JSON (JavaScript Object Notation)... the exact same language and structure you are using for your primary development.
The same code formatting rules, editor configs, syntax highlighting, autocomplete, for your code are used for your config, your build scripts, etc
