Has anyone tried implementing a new transport for Rebus? How much work is involved? E.g. number of interfaces that needs to be implemented? Assuming a sensible transport mechanism is used such as Greg Youngs event store..
Thank you.

As the aptly named @user1121956 says, it's a matter of implementing
IDuplexTransport, which is just bringingISendMessagesandIReceiveMessagestogether.As you can see, the two interfaces boil down to two methods, so when I say that it's a lot of work to implement a new transport, it's because it's not trivial to implement those methods.
It doesn't mean that it's not possible, it's just that it's a place where you would need to be very careful to get things right - otherwise, messages might be dropped or other bad things might happen, and that would not be cool :)
With that said - if you feel like you're up to it ;) - I suggest you check out the Rebus source code and look into the contract tests for the transports - this is where a bunch of common scenarios get run against all the officially supported transports. A good starting point would be to extend the tests with a
GregsEventStoreTransportFactory.I will be happy to help you out with guidance along the way if you run into trouble!
