is there any sublime text package rainbow brackets?

I'm looking for a package similar to atom swackets, allowing rainbow coloring of brackets (and eventually parentheses) regardless of language I'm using.

(note : there is a package already doing it only for parenthesis on lips but I it doesn't correspond to what I'm looking for)

edit : juste use VSCode.

I don't know whether there is a package for this, but just doing it on your own should not be that hard (if you have a good syntax file).

Syntax files usually scope a brace as meta.brace.curly and each brace adds a meta scope meta.group.braces.curly. Knowing this we can change the colorscheme. (To find your colorscheme you can use PackageResourceViewer)

Just add a different color for a different number of surrounding meta.group.braces.curly context. For example you can add this at a reasonable position:

    <dict>
        <key>name</key>
        <string>Brace Level 0</string>
        <key>scope</key>
        <string>meta.brace.curly</string>
        <key>settings</key>
        <dict>
            <key>foreground</key>
            <string>#990099</string>
        </dict>
    </dict>
    <dict>
        <key>name</key>
        <string>Brace Level 1</string>
        <key>scope</key>
        <string>meta.group.braces.curly meta.brace.curly</string>
        <key>settings</key>
        <dict>
            <key>foreground</key>
            <string>#00ccff</string>
        </dict>
    </dict>
    <dict>
        <key>name</key>
