The best IDE in the world is becoming even better.
It's strange no one ever thought about this feature before. Simple yet so useful.

#VisualStudio 2022 v17.6

Eclipse did this before already years ago. Nothingburger. Self.yawn

Aren't there other IDE plugins that do this? CodeRush?

It is a nice 'out of the box' feature.

Rainbow brackets finally becoming canon?

How many levels of nesting before it starts repeating colours?

@bigmonsterlover that or they just didn’t know every other IDE already had that option out of the box, at least enableable from the settings.

JetBrains > VS
# endSoapBox

While I do like VSCode, colored bracers havebeen around for more than a decade in different editors, maybe much more.

But since VSCode is still quite new its not surprising there are lots of common ideas they have yet to add.

@Voxera I think this was about Visual Studio, the IDE, not VSCode (colorized brackets have been around for quite a while in the latter)

@webketje ah, yes VS has been a bit behind unless you have had plugins that added it.

It still hangs sometimes
