Programming with Managed Time takes an fairly novel approach to the semantics of time. I can't say that I've ever really run into a system very much like that before (my MS was on distributed debugging and I did a fairly deep dive into the history and literature).

Anyway, the strobe/scrub terminology I think is worth using, IMO. It describes it well. Time travel is pretty fun to say though. =)

ah well, it inspires me to continue on with my research. :-)

Nice that you like it. We will try to promote it more later with a web essay, many people on HN don't like reading academic papers. Good luck with your research, I'm also involved in some similar distributed systems work (I'm a PL researcher who works in a systems group).
