How X Window Managers Work, and How to Write One
You think this is bad? Just look at a native Wayland "Hello World" client [1]. This doesn't even print hello world. You have to do the text rendering yourself. And you need at least 500 more lines to implement the equivalent to a simple XGetImage() call.

GLFW has merged proper support for client-side window decorations on Wayland!
If you find the list "odd" feel free to change it on Wikipedia. Also Mir is literally a Wayland compositor as stated by the git repo. To my limited understanding (I never done anything with it, I only saw it on the Wikipedia list) it's quite similar to wlroots.

How X Window Managers Work, and How to Write One
People have already mentioned wlroots as a starting point, but there is a less opinionated and more compatible (NVIDIA-ready) library that I’m really quite fond of called Mir: https://github.com/MirServer/mir
One thing to note, Wayland, unlike X, does not support server side decorations yet, so compositor’s responsibilities are mostly just placing windows.
