X11 is dead, switch to Wayland
I am personally waiting for Waymonad. https://github.com/waymonad/waymonad

With rise of wayland, are simpler window managers dying?
It takes time, but the teams behind wlroots etc are doing good work to make sure that wms managed by smaller teams can exist. There are even clones for your specific wm on wayland. See https://github.com/waymonad/waymonad

switching from awesomewm to a wayland compositor
In addition, there was the last commit in 2019. Thus, it can be assumed that the project is dead and therefore nothing will change on the current state. And according to https://github.com/waymonad/waymonad/issues/44, there are probably not enough people who would actively participate in a fork.

I was in a stream and I realized what is still lacking from Linux Gaming to be mainstream
Ideally xmonad would be ported/xmonad devs would be working on waymonad, but I doubt it will happen. Waymonad seems to be abandoned.

Cool Desktops Don’t Change
Nice to see Qtile on Wayland. But I'm personally waiting for xmonad on Wayland.
-
A tiling desktop environment is now available for Bullseye
I wouldn't count on it, as Waymonad has not seen active development since 2019 and the Haskell bindings to wlroots have not been updated since 2019 as well. There is a fork, but it has not been active since September 2021. Also, it was based on wlroots, not sway.

How hard would it be to make my own window manager?
That's what the XMonad fans are using: https://github.com/waymonad/waymonad lets you write your Wayland compositor in Haskell, is analogy to the way XMonad lets you write your X window manager in Haskell.

I would not give up haskell for hiring purposes. I think it will exponentialy rise through the roof in a year or two [2012]
Unfortunately it was abandoned https://github.com/waymonad/waymonad/issues/44
- Is there a successful Wayand wm that is close to xmonad?
-
Little advice, please.
regarding keeping an interest, waymonad has been dead for something like two and a half years but according to startrack it's still getting people giving him stars so i don't think you should worry about it.

A simple guide for configuring sudo and doas
persist : don't prompt the user to type the password again after some time (potentially unsafe)

xorg sucks, use swc
Other: doas (opendoas package on void) in place of sudo, 9front or plan9 and factotum in place of Linux and PAM.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing waymonad and doas you can also consider the following projects:
spectrwm - A small dynamic tiling window manager for X11.
Vim - The official Vim repository
wlroots - A modular Wayland compositor library
velox - velox window manager
river - [mirror] A dynamic tiling Wayland compositor
swc - a library for making a simple Wayland compositor
qtile - :cookie: A full-featured, hackable tiling window manager written and configured in Python (X11 + Wayland)
lel - farbfeld x11 image viewer
ibus - Intelligent Input Bus for Linux/Unix
dwm - LEV Linux's window manager (a fork of dwm)
autotiling - Script for sway and i3 to automatically switch the horizontal / vertical window split orientation
samurai - ninja-compatible build tool written in C
