While X is a giant program that offers a lot of features, Wayland is not a program but a protocol. Wayland composotors, implementations of Wayland protocol, are usually intertwined with their desktop environments. So I guess similar examples using Wayland are not as universal as using X and do not help much to learn about Wayland itself. Still, there is a convenient Wayland compositor library that is designed for devs to build own window managers. Check wlc [1]. wlc has a nice and simple example [2] but not as short as TinyWM.
