I never pronounce separators like ::, ., ->... And braces, brackets, parenthesis and angle braces I do not pronounce. Programming languages are made not to sing them, but to write and read. To read silently I mean. While I understand what I'm reading, I do not bother to pronounce it in a way that would be digestible by an accident listener.

If such a strategy stands between you and understanding, I'd suggest you to use silence gaps of different lengths. Like 0.5s for space and 0.2s for ::.

you don't pronounce "->" as returns even in your thoughts?

I used above -> in a C++ sense, but I tried it watching myself with Rust, and seems that I do not pronounce ->. I pronounce just identifiers, keeping track of the context (and therefore the semantics of identifiers) by other means.
