Hello Dev.to
Agile Data (https://github.com/atk4/data) implements an approach of DataSet abstractions - implemented in PHP. While it is similar to ORM in syntax - it operates on an entirely different level, allowing you to dynamically build multi-table queries, abstract away expression logic, and introduce extensions (such as soft-delete). All of that integrates into UI directly) making ATK a "low-code" framework that makes you write very little code.

How do you structure comment trees to handle pagination, sort, recursion?
Eager instead of lazy but how about: pull all the comments in chronological order starting from the beginning and then build the tree downstream of the database as items come in?
See also the nested set representation of trees which makes it fast to get subtrees.
