How does this gem differs from Rails strict_loading?

[aelkoussy]

Thanks for the great work on this gem. Can we compare more in depth why would this gem be useful given that Rails strict_loading exists? (and maybe we can add it to the Readme)

For me, I understand that strict_loading prevents all kinds of lazy loading, which includes n+1 issues but also includes other things, it is very hard for me to pinpoint how those 2 cases diverge

In other words: what are lazy loading cases that will throw exception in strict_loading but are NOT N+1 issues? Plus, any other points you think are handled better in Prosopite

Thanks

If you are like me, and weren't familiar with strict_loading, it was added in Rails 6.1

• Rails has added strict loading mode to prevent lazy loading | Saeloun Blog

Thanks, I know about strict_loading and many resources cover it well, but I hope the author of the gem (or someone) can explain how Prosopite is different than Rails strict_loading and what are the benefits of using it instead.

Interested in hearing more about the differences as well
