Leap years have nothing to do with milliseconds in a day- it’s days that fail to fit into a year; days and years are defined by the orbit and rotation of the earth. Leap seconds, however, are another story...
You don’t have to dig through the codebase to figure out that a function should have only accepted a number, because the interpreter/compiler would have screamed at you the moment you try something else.
Scripting languages may be easier to learn, but they aren’t as scalable and efficient. In requiring less scaffolding and structure, they’re not as well suited at creating correct code in large codebases. They’re still great for prototyping, though.
