Maybe you're already familiar with the MATLAB package cvx or similar 
such packages for python?

As creating a fast solver for LPs and other similar optimization 
problems is a rather involved engineering task, it might be better to 
create something that can provide a unified, high-level interface to 
many of the existing commercial and open source solvers, rather than 
writing your own solver.
