For pure shortness, I think HTML + JavaScript won here:

The Haskell example is interesting, though, because it shows a working webapp in Haskell, and it's not even that scary.

Except that these two code examples do two very different things. The Haskell version actually uses a continuation to run multiple requests The Javascript version modifies local mutable state. The Haskell version does it via server interaction, which makes it much more useful to modern web apps.
