Currently not.
However, you could add different colors to the braces etc for different nesting levels, to get permanent highlighting of matching braces, by using an appropriate scope selector. Not the same I know, but something.
Perhaps when dynamic scopes arrive?
In a few of my languages I have something like this:
round-brackets = { patterns = (
{ name = 'meta.group.braces.curly';
begin = '\{';
end = '\}';
patterns = ( { include = 'source.prototype.js.bracketed'; } );
},
{ name = 'meta.group.braces.round';
begin = '\(';
end = '\)';
patterns = ( { include = 'source.prototype.js.bracketed'; } );
},
);
};
You could rework that to color just the brackets themselves.
But that would be permanent for that theme.
