I agree with much of this, but "time management" still seems like a half-baked metaphor for FP immutability and not a clarifying model, at least not yet. It's easy to explain the X to which "memory management" refers: allocating and freeing memory. Surely that was easy to understand even before the advent of GC. It's also easy to explain what memory is and point to where and how it is manipulated in code. I don't see how time is a programming construct in the way that memory or state is.
