Hmmm ... in Lift we do use JSON structures with functions (but not with JSON mime type). For instance ScriptRenderer.scala defines a JSON with functions. jlift.js also defines a JSON with functions.
But looking at your example app, you're using JSON mimetype in the response and that JSON has a function which I don't think it is correct. So why do you need the jsonCall stuff with AjaxContext.json ?
