Why do some frameworks abstract database interactions under the name 'ORM'? How do they manage data in associated models, along with the difference from the Active Record pattern? For example, what role does eager loading play in a user-tweet relationship?
What is the core logic of Eloquent ORM?

Well, I'm always amazed at how Eloquent, despite its simplicity inspired by Active Record, allows us to perform such complex queries with its 'database tables = classes' assumption. For instance, I still don't fully grasp how a single Users::with('tweets')->get() call resolves both the data and the relationships in one go for a user-tweet relationship.
