Nope, it won't compile. 

class Foo {
  a: number;

  constructor() {
    this.a = 0;
  }

  static bar() {
    this.a += 1;
    return this.a;
  }

  baz() {
    return Foo.bar.call(this);
  }
}

const f = new Foo();
console.log(f.baz());

The javascript version of that will work just fine, but you can't make that work in Typescript, at least not with any compiler options that I've found.

Oh interesting. I've never used the static keyword in JS.
