Kalium – idiomatic source-to-source translation of Pascal into Haskell

I doubt it. Try looking at the supported subset: https://int-index.github.io/kalium/pascal.pdf It's not a long document (two pages).

TeX is written in a subset of Pascal too (so it can compile to C).

I can't find any particular documentation of what subset TeX uses, but considering the strong limitations in the Kalium documentation, I would be very much surprised if Kalium was a superset of the WEB2C supported subset of Pascal that TeX uses.

I'm confused as there are P2C converters, although I don't know how good they work.

Actually Tex is built with a p2c translation

Not being a Pascal user, what isn't supported?
