NeXT comes with all standard UNIX BSD 4.3 stuff except:
/games, pc, ratfor, and a couple of other things.
But there is everything else there: vi, lex, yacc, awk, as, cc etc.
For all intents and purposes NeXT is a standard UNIX BSD 4.3 from the
point of a user. cc compiles c, Objective-C and c++ in the new
release.
