[Haskell-cafe] Is curryfication practical with dynamic scope?

Hi, can this code
(\a -> \b -> a) 1 2
eval to normal form in a strict language with dynamic scope?
Thanks,
Loup
PS: some context:
I am currently implementing a toy language. The AST is this one:
data whnf = -- Weak Head Normal Form
| Unit
| Int of int
| Bool of bool
| Prim of (whnf -> whnf) -- curried
| Fun of string * expr -- curried
data expr =
| Whnf of whnf
| Var of string
| App of expr * expr
| If of expr * expr * expr
Dynamic typing, dynamic scope, and, as you can see, functions have to
be curried. I plan to implement lexical scope.
