That's what `show-paren-mode` is for. :-) You'll only really need it when
editing existing code, however. For writing code, you should use something that
keeps parentheses balanced (I use `paredit-mode' myself, but there are other
options), and when reading code, you should mostly ignore the parentheses and
focus on the indentation.
This comes to mind:
