Wayward's Replacement

I know I've not been attentive for a while.  However, is that any reason to try and steal my crown?  It looks like Charles Petzold is trying to be funnier than me.

Check out his plan for a new book. He claims it's an 'Evolutionary Leap'.

I'll gladly give him the crown if he publishes it.

However, it seems the Intentional Software guys are taking him seriously.  I wonder if there is something to it.
