Computer algebra systems and so on in particular. The sort of stuff Wolfram made is fortune on.

I also think "pure software" entering adulthood. The peak might last decades to come, but it's definitely not 1990 or 2010 anymore. CS still has lots of exciting things in the fire, but most of them involve more than "pure software". If that makes sense.
