Hi, I'm the author of both tools.
cljs-devtools is essential and you should start with it if you are developing under Chrome. It presents ClojureScript data structures when you print them via console.log. cljs-devtools must be configured as a library included in your project/app. Dirac is a fork of Chrome DevTools with ClojureScript-specific features added. You use it instead of internal DevTools in Chrome. It is more advanced tool and requires some non-trivial setup. It is the next evolutionary step when you master your ClojureScript development environment. There are many nice-to-have features (as listed on the homepage) but the distinguished one is to be able to REPL cljs code in the context of a paused breakpoint. This is obviously very advanced feature you would use debugging complex code once in 10 years, but I'm not aware of any other tool allowing this. I would not recommend it to beginners, as they don't usually need that power. Both tools are complementary. Dirac expects cljs-devtools as a soft dependency. It does not make much sense to use Dirac REPL without having cljs-devtools presenting cljs data structures in a friendly way. good luck!
