A kakoune plugin like rainbow.
Highlights pairs of parentheses in the same color, recursive pairs are highlighted in a different color.
This plugin is a first prototype, later others have made faster and better implementations. It's better to use one of the below plugins instead of this one.

Add this plugin to your autoload folder.
Or use plug
plug 'jjk96/kakoune-rainbow'
execute :rainbow to highlight the current buffer once.
execute :rainbow-enable to highlight the current buffer continuously (note that this may be a bit laggy).
execute :rainbow-disable to remove the highlighter
The rainbow_highlight_background option sets whether the background of the part between braces should be highlighted.
You can override the rainbow_faces option to set your own faces.
Example:
set-option global rainbow_faces "rgb:ff0000" "rgb:00ff00" "rgb:0000ff"
You can also override the rainbow_opening option to set the opening parentheses regex.
Example:
set-option global rainbow_opening "[\[{(<]"
