This doesn’t look like a bug in Node core (or in grunt) to me. As far as I can tell, you seem to be using an old version of the fsevents package, which uses what has been a deprecated V8 feature, that got removed in Node v7.

Please make sure npm ls | grep fsevents lists the latest version of fsevents (1.0.14), and if it doesn’t, update your dependencies.

Judging from the issue title, there’s a good chance you’re running into https://github.com/TypeStrong/grunt-ts/issues/369. I’m closing this as it’s very likely not a bug with Node, but feel free to ask follow-up questions if you have any!
