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.
