"predictable" in the sense that people know how it works regardless what language they know.

I guess I mean "no surprise for the reader", which is more "readability" than "predictability"

Is there any language that doesn’t just truncate when casting from a float to an int?

As far as I know, haskell do not allow coresion of float to int without specifying a method (floor, ceil, round, etc): https://hoogle.haskell.org/?hoogle=Float+-%3E+Integer&scope=set%3Astackage

Agda seems to do the same: https://agda.github.io/agda-stdlib/Data.Float.Base.html
