CPython is written in C, C is often the best tool to use because of many reasons (availability of compilers/of developers, performance, etc), but this doesn't make it a "wonderful" language..
Unless by "wonderful" you mean "full of undefined behaviours just waiting to hurt the developers" ( http://blog.regehr.org/archives/category/compilers ) in which case I agree.

I didn't mention wonderful at all. Just wanted to state that apparently C is still the best choice in certain cases.
