Now supposing you were on the phone to a Haskell programmer and you wanted to say this

f :: Int -> Int

I imagine you might say "f maps Int to Int" or "function f has type Int to Int". Both symbols have been translated directly to words. Nobody would say "f, colon colon, Int, dash greater than, Int".

I would say: “f double-colon Int arrow Int”. Best wishes, Wolfgang
