I meant where do you draw the line as to what is "computer science", and what is domain and application-specific problem-solving?
Of course your language has just as much right to be dealt with correctly in computers as every other, but that's probably a separate conversation about the right to equal access to technology whatever the economics (A cause I agree with), etc, etc.

I actually think that the line is clear. Solving a practical problem or bug? That's not computer science. Developing or improving a generally useful algorithm or technique, such as a sort function? That _is_ computer science. Science is improving our understanding of how things work or can be made to work. Actually putting that knowledge to application is Engineering (or tinkering).
