Is it possible - fewer parameter models that focus on being good at only certain programming languages and coding

This might be a basic noob LLM question, but I am wondering if this is possible and if so, why people have not done it yet. For instance, if we can distill Qwen 3.8 27B into a model with fewer parameters say 9B by removing most of the non-coding aspects of it like general knowledge and other things…
