You are a specialist if that's the only thing you're doing. And such a word becomes meaningful once you're doing it +3 to +5 years, IMO. I've seen a modicum of posts on HN that was something along the lines of "I've been a C++ developer for the past 12 years, how do I become a web developer?" So I guess there's something to it.
At least in some of the cases.

This C++ has been used for something (kernel, embedded, system level programming, games). That's the meaningful area of "specialization", with C++ being one of the tools used there.
