Description

r = Ractor.new do
  pp("foobar")
end
Ractor.select(r)

fails with:

This is easy to fix by calling require 'pp' in the top from the main Ractor - but I don't think it is expected for developers. We should optimize for developer's happiness and either make it just work or make it clear that everything should be required beforehand.

I doubt require can ever be supported in a Ractor, see #17420.

It seems there is no good solution for this, and besides this problem not only happens with pp but with any kind of "autoloaded" library/gem.

My preference would be to make require work everywhere, but always be executed in the main Reactor. That would just be part of the semantics of require.

I wrote a similar opinion to Martin Dürst's in #17420. I propose that we comment there (simply because the issue is older and more general)

Thanks, I wasn't aware of #17420. Should I close this ticket?
