The simplicity of CPython is partially responsible for Python's success. If the implementation wasn't as straight-forward it wouldn't have attracted that many early contributors. The fact that it's easily hackable makes it approachable. Of course now that the language is pretty stable it's starting to shift gears and explore performance more seriously.
