nvim-parinfer VS nvim-ts-rainbow

You might get turned off by the brackets but that's alleviated by plugins like nvim-parinfer which automatically adds/removes brackets based on the indentation. So you can do commands like dd with ease. If you have nvim-autopairs make sure to disable "fennel" filetype since they conflict.

nvim-parinfer is pretty nice, it works with most lisps out of the box. It's implements a purpose built autopairing system for lisps

If you use lisps, I recommend nvim-parinfer a lot

for the past few days I have been working on a fork to the nvim-ts-rainbow plugin: nvim-ts-rainbow2. I am pretty much done, except for one small issue: finding out the level of a node relative to other container nodes. I know how to determine the level of a node in the tree (just keep counting up from 1 while going through the parents until I hit the root), but that is not what I need.

I noticed that it was abandoned when I was about to update my PR. The PR as it is up there is a mess, so I went through a major refactor and subsequently lost everything like an idiot.

The "look" you're looking for is given by a bunch of plugins: - OneDark.nvim as colorscheme - TS Rainbow for rainbow brackets - BarBar for bufferline - Nvim Devicons and NerdFonts to view file icons - NvimTree as a file manager - Indent Blankline to show indentation guides - CompetiTest with vertical split UI - Feline as statusline plugin. In the screenshot feline is configured with a custom theme. As you can see statusline is different for CompetiTest buffers: a different statusline can be configured for every different filetype using conditional_config.

For highlightning parentheses you could check out nvim-ts-rainbow

Consider using nvim-ts-rainbow to get rainbow parentheses.

To get changed colors for nested brackets, use nvim-ts-rainbow. I think the rest of the comments have you covered on getting colors up to snuff for you. To me it just looks like mismatched colors, not that anything is wrong

I'm happy to say I have fixed [the bug in nvim-ts-rainbow] that caused all JSX props to be highlighted](https://github.com/p00f/nvim-ts-rainbow/issues/118) in extended_mode instead of just highlighting the tag names. It was bugging me for a while when working on React components. Now, only the tag names and angle brackets in JSX elements are highlighted.

Lsp support is pretty good with Neovim, but obviously depends on what Lisp you use. I also like ts-rainbow a lot, but that's literally just visual fluff for brackets
