Visual Studio Code – Highlight scope when matching bracket

Is there a way to highlight the scope of a bracket when the cursor is next to it?

Recently, I have been playing around with Dr Racket (IDE for racket language) and I noticed a really convenient and cool feature for quickly visualization of its scope.

Since racket uses mostly "(" and ")" , having these nested is a nightmare but this feature makes it so easy to complete the pair bracket.

I just wonder if there is something similar to this in VScode otherwise I will have to create my own extension.

I tried finding this feature in the marketplace and vscode settings but did not find any similar feature to this.
