With rise of wayland, are simpler window managers dying?
Take a look to Vivarium It is more recent it worked decently and it is remakably easy to config.

I am looking for a wayland based tiling window manager which is close to dwm/xmonad, which one would you recommend?
I wrote Vivarium specifically to behave like my old xmonad setup, although it isn't at all like xmonad internally. It's configurable in C.

XMonad – The Automated Tiling WM
Since various people are asking about xmonad-like tiling in wayland:
I wrote Vivarium[0] specifically to be a wayland compositor that behaves exactly like my (fairly simple) xmonad config, but it's a relatively new/unstable compositor and nothing like xmonad internally.
River[1] has a fantastic tiling model via user-provided executables, which makes it very flexible and probably a good fit for many people wanting something xmonad-like.
Waymonad[2] exists as a direct xmonad-like compositor, but I think development has been basically stalled for a long time. Sometimes there's discussion about reviving it though.

Recommended Compositors
Vivarium has xwayland as an option, enabled by default.

xorg sucks, use swc
https://github.com/inclement/vivarium.git and https://github.com/djpohly/dwl.git are also great projects in the same vein.

Easy to config tiling wm
If you can get past some minor wayland related annoyances, river is pretty easy imo, you can write a config in whatever format you want, it just needs to be an executable file, the most common type is a shell script. The actual configuration happens by calling the riverctl program from the file, which from what I've heard is a similar method compared to bspwm.

Questions about availability of specific functionalities in swaywm (and wayland at all)
Coming from awesome you may find river more to your liking than sway.

Chromium / Electron on Wayland causes crash of the whole OS
River crashed everytime I closed Chromium. The developer fixed it in 5 minutes :)
-
I may have taken plugins too far...
I've written a plugin that implements the river-layout-v3 wayland protocol in Hyprland. This means you can run something like rivertile, river-luatile, rivercarro or kile as a layout provider.

Master and Stack setup
Author here. And yeah, as of 0.6.0 it supports master stack - I just called it stack main. I was in fact inspired by river: https://github.com/riverwm/river. River is really promising but is still in very early development. Sway on the other hand has been around for a long time and I, for now, prefer that stability.

Has anyone managed to get Hyprland working on void?
In my very specific case, I'd probably start by taking a look at how animations were previously implemented in river, and then I'd pay careful attention to that transform matrix at the end. I'm not super crazy about the implementation using timers to drive it (versus interpolating where the transform should be across a deadline), but I guess they were going for smoothness.
