+### Why AST-first?
+
+The query is never a string until the very last step. This means:
+
+- **Plugins can rewrite queries** — add WHERE clauses, prefix schemas, transform joins
+- **Hooks can inspect/modify** — logging, tracing, tenant isolation
+- **Printers are swappable** — same AST, different SQL per dialect
+- **No SQL injection** — values are always parameterized
+
+### Key design decisions
+
+- **Params at print time** — no global state, no index tracking during build
+- **Immutable builders** — every method returns a new instance
+- **Proxy-based column access** — `({ age }) => age.gt(18)` with full type safety
+- **Phantom types** — `Expression<T>` carries type info with zero runtime cost

+
+## Acknowledgments
+
+sumak wouldn't exist without the incredible work of these projects:
+
+- **[Kysely](https://github.com/kysely-org/kysely)** — Pioneered the AST-first approach for TypeScript query builders. The `DB/TB/O` generic threading pattern, immutable builder design, and visitor-based printer architecture are directly inspired by Kysely.
+- **[Drizzle ORM](https://github.com/drizzle-team/drizzle-orm)** — Proved that schema-as-code (no codegen) is the right developer experience. The `defineTable()` + column builder pattern in sumak follows Drizzle's lead.
+- **[JOOQ](https://github.com/jOOQ/jOOQ)** — The original AST-first SQL builder (Java). Showed that a clean AST layer makes multi-dialect support elegant.
+- **[SQLAlchemy](https://github.com/sqlalchemy/sqlalchemy)** — Demonstrated that separating the expression layer from the ORM layer gives maximum flexibility.
