I looked through some of the Base source code and see different things for conversions.
c%UInt8 <https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/master/base/utf8.jl#L125> convert(UInt8,x) <https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/master/base/int.jl#L224> UInt8(t) <https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/master/base/serialize.jl#L60> to name a few.... Any official recommendation for someone starting out new - anything which is planned to be depreciate soon. Thanks
