@MrWizardGG Sorry, you're talking about something you clearly do not understand.
We do not need "credibility" to be 'granted to us' by 'older, establised' fields.
The work of computer scientists and therefore, the field more generally, is only deserving of the credibility it gains from standing on its own two feet; we are only as credible as our ability to do good science.
If Computer Science is treated any other way, it is 'merely' a sub-field of those, from which, it steals its credibility.
This is The Way of Science. Any 'Computer Scientist' who would argue otherwise, should be treated with deep skepticism, in my opinion.
Alan Turing was a mathematician. He has had a profound impact on physics, by enabling the the development of digital computers, which have already enabled experiments that would not otherwise have been possible.
It is a nonsense to say that his mathematical paper is deserving of a Nobel Prize, because that is not what then NP in Physics is supposed to be for!
