Trails (http://www.trailsframework.org/) offers something similar to this;
basically Trails is about model-driven design. You only need to create your
domain entities (like blog post and comment as in your example) and the
framework creates both the frontend and database from it, both of which you
can then customize later. A version for T4.x has been available and in use
for a few years, T5 compatible version is in development; no snapshots
available but the early example are functional if you check out the trunk.
