I really need to know why WeakMaps don't accept primitives as keys, can anyone please reply ?

How would the GC know when to remove the entry from the map? Because a primitive is never (or always, if wrapped) eligible for garbage-collection, a WeakMap does not help your use case.

A WeakMap will not give you your time-limited cache. You still have to implement that yourself.
