I've heard complaints about how tough it was to get ADA code to compile. I'm not sure if it was the language itself, or unfriendly tools and compiler warnings...

That's a feature.

Ada is a fairly strict language that allows for compilers to do a tremendous amount of static checks.

It has been said that this is the character of programming in Ada: if you can get the damn thing to compile, it works perfectly.
