Worthwhile to point out that edX is a non-profit [1] unlike Coursera [2] and Udacity [3].

One may find Introduction to Functional Programming [1] by Erik Meijer interesting.

Kinda. They act more like a for-profit than like a non-profit.
How so? All of their classes are available for free, the only thing you have to pay for is the certificate. Non profit =/= no profit.
Taking a page out of the nonprofit university playbook.
