I've been toying with the idea of writing a compositor with a NeXT-like interface as a way to get myself acquainted with Wayland. Sadly, I haven't taken it past the "toying with" stage because, as far as I can tell, Wayland-related documentation is somewhere between outdated, abysmal and absent. That being said, unless they manage to mess up Wayland really, really bad, I don't think X11 will be very relevant 4-6 years from now. Wayland has a lot of big commercial Linux players behind it -- and those (by which I mean that, by which I really mean Canonical) who aren't behind it aren't behind X11 anyway.
