Excellent question.

When one looks at Ada (or SPARK) as a tool that simply constrains
what can be done rather than tool that enables things to get done, there

is no difference at all.

Sadly, too many people take this restrictive view of Ada.   It is far
more
than that.   In another post, I make a few points about this, but to
keep
this short, let me emphasize that Ada is not about what one cannot do
but what one can do.   It is what one can do that is important.
