thanks for reporting! i assume this is related to the jshint parsing not being 100% up to date with the newest javascript features.

it seems like this is actually still an ES7 stage 3 proposal, so it hasn't been added to JSHint yet? see jshint/jshint#3139. the way around this is to use a getter:

class t {
  static get w() {
    return 2; 
  }
}

Going to roll this into #1540.
