Lots of good answers, but they skip the high level to dive into details.

There are lots of uses for SPARK, such as safety critical systems or complex tasking systems where SPARK is required, or in some cases SPARK will make complex programming easier.

But in any case, learn Ada, then add SPARK. In fact you may have significant programs where 80% of the code is just Ada, then when the setup is finished, the safety-critical or time-critical part is all that is executing, and 100% SPARK.
