In OCaml, a common convention is often to use functions with names like int_of_float (or Int.of_float), although it is also likely that (e.g.) the Int module will have a to_float function too. I write a lot of OCaml and it still trips me up from time to time. The other solution in a procedural/functional language is to write code closer to the evaluation order, e.g. with a 'pipeline' operator: let myoklch = mycolor |> lin_proPhoto |> lin_proPhoto_to_XYZ |> ... or with a 'fluent' interface in an OOP language: let myoklch = mycolor.to_linear().to_XYZ().to_D65().to_OKLAB().to_OKLCH();
