First thing I thought after learning Haskell and Prolog was “where the hell is my enlightenment?”

[fizilicious]

As the Zen proverb goes, “Before enlightenment, chop wood and carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood and carry water.”

[ptrhvns]

I don't think this applies. The proverb is a warning to those who haven't obtained enlightenment yet about how their daily, external life won't change once they do. The OP is saying they never obtained the promised enlightenment.

Edit: clarity

You didn't have any ? I'm still high on prolog and similar.
