This is far more strict and has far more requirements on the design, it =

takes really more long to create an application with SPARK and full  =

validity conditions proofs. That was the reason to suggest you to start =

with Ada, instead of SPARK. Don't bother any way, as on the way to learn=
  =

Ada, you will also learn part of SPARK, as the latter relies on the form=
er.

-- =

There is even better than a pragma Assert: a SPARK --# check.
