I think people misunderstood this quote... The idea is that you may devote a lot of time to developing the 'Best' solution to a problem, but never get to use the solution (because it took so long to get right). On the other hand you can develop a 'good' solution much quicker, and have time to use it. I guess it is a rephrasing of the classic "95% is good enough" rule.
I gave you suggestions that can be implemented immediately. They resulted from my bad experiences with MatLab and better experiences I made with the suggested approach in Modula-3. Intentionally re-implementing a bad thing is different from implementing something you still don't know enough about.
... as I also wrote, there are already at least two libraries providing some of the functionality you need. Do we really need a new library whose sloppy design is intended?
