Tag idea: [minimum-distinct-chars], a winning criterion in which your program needs to have as few distinct characters as possible
Several questions already exist
Better name plz

That should be upper-case (UL)

Does that stand for anything?

Challenge Writing Challenge: Write a restricted-source challenge such that its scoring could equally be considered to be one of two different scoring criteria. e.g. if the source restriction were "Every character must appear the same number of times", then [minimum-distinct-chars] would be the same as code-golf. The scoring criteria is most interesting challenge.

I think code-glf is the best option

@WheatWizard Now the tag name is a valid Haskell solution which scores the challenge.

but with dots rather than dashes, right?

@pxeger The intention was spaces instead of -. Hence why I use fmap, but I made a mistake and it doesn't work.

@pxeger i think i have

oh
@PyGamer0 code-glf is code-golf but with non-unique characters removed

I like the idea of code-glf however the issue is that there aren't a whole lot of repeated characters in "code golf" so it confusingly looks very similar which I think is not ideal.

yeah and it might be too easy to apply accidentally

cde-golf might be a bit better in that respect.
