"Bummer! Try again!"

This code challenge needs improvement.

The test automatically enters in "bogus" instead of "C#" and then quits when no loop is used(Despite correctly displaying the configured error message!). The challenge mentions nothing on how it expects to handle incorrect user input, then fails.

So I used a loop as is presumably intended. Now I just get the error "Bummer! Try again!" with no additional details. What gives?

CodeChallenge.cs 
Console.WriteLine("Which language is the best?");
bool keepGoing = true;
while(keepGoing)
{
    string language = Console.ReadLine();
    if (language == "C#")
    {
        keepGoing = true;                      
    }
    else
    {
        Console.WriteLine("That's not what we want to hear! Try again!");
    }
}
Console.WriteLine("C# Rocks!");

No, this challenge does not need (or accept) a loop.

And you don't need to print anything if the input is something other than "C#".

Just keep things simple, do only what the challenge asks and nothing else and you should pass easily.
